註釋 Essays on Writing explores social and cultural facets of writing as well as practices of writing in a brief, flexible, and inexpensive reader.

Designed for instructors who want to keep the discourse in the writing classroom on writing as well as students who want to connect the writing they do in their composition course to literacy outside of the academic environment, Essays on Writing focuses on such issues as our attitudes toward writing, the impact of technology on writing, and the impact of writing outside academia in business and civic contexts.

Readings by canonical authors such as bell hooks, Donald Murray, Williams Zissner, and Anne Lamott are balanced by contemporary works on the topics of instant messaging, online paper mills, peer tutoring, and some of the consequences of spectacularly poor writing in legal and business settings. Focused apparatus encourages students to think critically about their attitudes toward writing as they analyze pieces rhetorically and synthesis ideas in their own writing.
